by J.J. Summerell
Chair, Libertarian Party of North Carolina

The deadline date for "Early Bird" registration has been extended by two weeks, from May 1 to Thursday, May 15.

The 2014 Libertarian Party National Convention will take place over the last weekend of June at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Columbus, Ohio. This location is geographically located within a day’s drive to a majority of our membership, so many of you could make it a road trip!

If you're planning to attend, or have already made your reservation, please send me your name, telephone number, and email address as soon as possible.Contact me at [email protected] or call (336) 202-3059.

I must submit a list of North Carolina delegates to the convention credentials committee.

The theme of this convention is CHARACTER Matters. I was inspired by a little book by Lawrence W. Reedtitled “Are We Good Enough for Liberty?”

As Larry writes, “Without character, a free society is not just unlikely … it’s impossible.” While the Democrat’s and Republican’s lie and steal, we Libertarian’s must take the high ground, even though it may not be the politically expedient way. 

I look forward to seeing you in Columbus. And thank you for all you are doing for the Libertarian Party of North Carolina.
